I’m falling in love with cooking and I see on all these shows talk about Umami with ingredients. I get the idea behind the flavor but they don’t excite my taste buds. I feel like I’m missing something.

It’s one of the basic taste, caused primarily by glutamates and a few other substance when it’s detected by your tongue.
It’s hard to separate this taste from other taste because most food has stronger taste that overwhelm it, but without it the food would still taste less good; it’s like the bass playing behind the lead singer. I think a good way to taste it is to make boiled tenderloin with no seasonings whatsoever. No salts, no sugar, no spices, no oils nor fats, just pure lean pork.
